4-Methyl-3,3-pentamethylene-1,2-dioxetane. Lack of its Formation in Ozonation of Ethylidenecyclohexane in Pinacolone

Abstract
The title compound has been prepared and characterized. Contrary to a previous report it is not formed on ozonation of ethylidenecyclohexane (1) in pinacolone. The percent yields of products formed on ozonation of 1 in Skelly B, pinacolone, and dimethyl ether are, respectively, acetaldehyde, 25, 47, 59; normal ozonide ~75, ~0,
